Step 1: Begin by creating an A2 card base out of Tim Holtz Distress Black Heavystock by trimming an 8½” x 11” piece of cardstock at 4¼” then scoring it at 5 ½”. Also trim two pieces of Stark White cardstock measuring 4” x 5¼”.

Step 3: Place the cat images from the Purrfect Cat stamp set on Simon Hurley’s 5X6 acrylic block. Then, heat the stamping foam for about 15-20 seconds. Next, press the acrylic block onto the heated stamping foam to make an impression of the images.

Step 4: Next, use Sidewalk Chalk, Triple Berry, Crown Me, and Shady ink pads and rub each color onto the stamping foam. Then use the blending tool to eliminate any harsh lines from the ink pads.
